i have short arms and i've heard of these surgeryies people having to be made taller (lengthening the legs) and i was wondering how this would work with helping my golf swing by lengthening my arms. any ideas?

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

I have short arms as well, though with the woods they are a disadvantage, but with my wedges there perfect. I was playing on golf simulator, last Saturday, so long story short I was playing pebble beach, and I hit the ball on the beach, so I was 135 away from the pin and the pin was 28 yards up hill, so i choose to hit a 60 degree as hard could to lay-up. But what was pretty remarkable the ball landed 15 feet pass the pin, I ended up hitting the ball 140 which is really long with a lob from the condition I was in. So I think short arms helps with power and control with the wedges, and a good short game is better then a good long game.

It's all in the hips... all in the hips...

I would never go under the knife unless I absolutely had to. I have had to for breaking my leg in a rugby game and now I have nerve damage there. It is not worth the risk!!! Don't do it!!! You were made like you were for a reason, don't change you for anything or anyone unless you are not happy with yourself. You play to the same handicap as me right now and I am 6'1 .. 210 pounds and can nearly drag my knuckles on the ground when walking.

Not to mention surgery, even if done without any negative side effect, will at minimum hold you back from playing anything while you heal. Not worth it man.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
